Kramer SID-X3N 4-Input Presentation Switcher and Step-In Commander

The Kramer SID-X3N accepts HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D and VGA sources and provides an HDMI output. Step-in control allows a connected presenter to request display access in a compatible Kramer system.

SID-X3N Detailed Features

• Accept several common presentation connectors. HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D, and VGA inputs let users connect a range of computers. The unit supplies an HDMI output for the downstream presentation system.
• Request display access with Step-In control. The local Step-In button can select the presenter in a compatible Kramer switching system such as the VS-62H. This function depends on compatible downstream equipment and the specified connection arrangement.
• Select inputs automatically or manually. Input selection can follow the last connected source or a manual choice. This supports both simple plug-in presentations and rooms where an operator needs explicit source control.
• Include analog source audio. Automatic analog audio detection and embedding support presentations whose sound arrives separately from the video. A local stereo audio output also provides a connection for suitable room audio equipment.
• Manage source-to-display negotiation. EDID pass-through and locking functions help establish the video formats offered to a source. These tools are useful when commissioning mixed computer and display installations.
• Maintain the digital signal path. Equalization and reclocking are included to condition supported digital signals. The stated maximum data rate is 6.75Gbps, so select operating formats and cable lengths accordingly.
• Support remote presentation controls. Connections for a remote Step-In switch and input-selection switches allow controls to be positioned conveniently. Front-panel controls remain available at the unit.
• Plan for its own power connection. The device requires an independent power adapter, which is listed as included. The USB power outlet is not a general-purpose USB switching interface for room peripherals.
